THE ADVANTAGES OF INVENTED SPELLING:
● It builds a sense of confidence, pride, and control over the learning process.
● It allows students to express themselves creatively through writing without
worrying about the spelling of unfamiliar words.
● Writing using invented spelling techniques allows for the extensive practice of
phonics because students are using letters to represent the sounds they hear.
● Teachers can discover important information about a student's growing
knowledge of phonemes by reading a composition using invented spelling
techniques.
 THE DISADVANTAGES OF INVENTED
SPELLING:
● It may reduce the incentive for children to learn to spell words correctly.
● It could possibly lead to problems in communication since there's no
guarantee others will be able to decipher what the student has written.
● Highly logical children may become frustrated when the teacher doesn't
insist there's only one correct way to spell a particular word.
